5 examples of fiqurative lanquage in Kaffir Boy along with the page numbers. What emotions do these examples evoke? Why does the author use them?

This sounds like a homework assignment, so you will need
to pick out the specific examples yourself. However, I'll give you a few pointers for
finding good examples of figurative language in Kaffir
Boy.

First, look at the speech of Mark
Mathabane's mother and grandmother. Throughout the book, these strong women use tribal
stories and proverbs to teach Mathabane how to survive. Their language is rich in
metaphor. Their use of figurative language in these characters' speech helps develop the
characters, the setting, and the cultural milieu. It also helps to reinforce many of the
book's themes.

You may also find figurative language around
Mark Mathabane's own dialog. Mathabane, who is called Johannes in the book, rarely uses
figurative language when he speaks. However, as a writer, he often describes his speech
and actions using similes that help to convey his emotions.
